A 1-3 record is a lot sweeter in the East Division than it is in the West.

That’s one way the Hamilton Tiger-Cats are breaking down the situation after their embarrassing 37-0 loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Sunday night in Regina.

The Tabbies may have fallen to 1-3 with their first shutout loss in nearly seven years, but they’re tied for second in the East with the Montreal Alouettes and Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Toronto Argonauts lead the way but only with a 2-2 mark.
